Vehicle Upfitting Company Brekford Announces Fleet Management Partnership With Trimble

Brekford Corporation, a public safety technology service provider of traffic safety solutions, vehicle upfitting, and rugged mobile technology, announced a partnership with Trimble Navigation Limited, the largest Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) provider in the country. The partnership is intended to meet a growing need from federal agencies to reduce operating costs, improve driver safety, and comply with federal directives like Executive Order 13514, which require greenhouse emissions to be measured, reported, and reduced.

"Given today's fiscal landscape, agency operating budgets are under intense scrutiny and many are being cut by double digit numbers," stated C.B. Brechin, CEO of Brekford. "As the debate over utilization rates continues, there is an increasing amount of pressure being places on federal agencies to cut costs. Through our partnership with Trimble, Brekford will help agencies better manage mileage, idle time, and fuel usage in an effort to reduce emissions as well as fuel costs, which should result in billions of dollars saved annually."

Trimble's GeoManager Fleet Management solution is an on-demand fleet productivity and management solution offering GPS, vehicle diagnostics, driver safety, wireless communications, and a hosted software application suite. GeoManager enables visibility into real-time field status and promises to allow fleet managers to better manage overall vehicle and workforce performance while lowering operating costs and improving productivity.

"Our partnership with Trimble further validates Brekford's commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions to the U.S. Military, as well as federal and state entities," said Scott Rutherford, President of Brekford. "We've listened to what our customers have been saying and are pleased to now offer a solution that logically complements our existing products and services while simultaneously addressing such an unfilled need under present market conditions."

"Today's announcement further validates our continued dedication to enhancing shareholder value and reinvesting in the business," Brechin added. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to strategically build out Brekford's product and service offerings to better satisfy expanding market demands, while positioning the company as the best all-around automated traffic safety solutions provider."
